It’s the day before our #BlackBerryPassport launch and we’re holding a series of exclusive events in Toronto, London and Dubai. If you’re not able to attend in person, fear not. We’ll be live streaming all the action from Toronto and will be posting video coverage of the event afterwards, as well. Read all the details below to ensure you don’t miss out on any BlackBerry Passport news.

The event will get underway on Wednesday, September 24th at 9:00 AM ET and will start simultaneously in each city.

For those socially-savvy members of Team BlackBerry, please take part and drive the conversation using #BlackBerryPassport on your social media site of choice.

Of course, we’ll have a ton of coverage lined up on Inside BlackBerry – we’ve got teammates on the ground in each city to bring you coverage as it happens. Keep it locked right here and remember to have your say using the hashtag or in the comments below.

The Research In Motion® (RIM®) Developer Relations team recently hosted a BBM™ Hackathon event in NYC. Developers were invited to apply for a chance to participate in the event, getting one-on-one time with BlackBerry® platform experts and network with other developers while working on integrating social elements into apps using the BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM) APIs.

Attendees told us that they found the direct contact with our social platform experts to be invaluable – and we liked hearing that so much that we’ve decided to host more of these hackathon events across the globe in the coming weeks.
